FOREWORD. 



A copy of the state laws governing the protection and planting of 

 street trees should be in the hands of all citizens of the state either 

 directly or indirectly concerned in the matter. This legislation is of 

 especial interest to farmers, most of whom do not know what their 

 property rights and privileges are in the matter. The initiative in 

 presenting this information was taken by the Department of Forestry 

 which is interested especially in the economic features. The Depart- 

 ment of Horticulture, through its activities in landscape work, is jointly 

 interested, especially from the aesthetic standpoint. 



R. S. SHAW, 



Director.
